Students of Hampton Institute

The body of Indian students has never
appeared better than this summer. The
most influential element is ON the side of
right and is striving to build up healthy
public sentiment There are acertain few
who have given trouble, making strict
discipline necessary; this has been admin

faculty. This court tries and sentences,

Remedfes for Bee shines.

Experienced bee keepers rarely trouble
themselves with the bee sting remedies,
but amateurs and those in whom the flesh
swells when stung near the eyes often
wish for something that will reduce the
swelling and pain. The best remedy is a
Jincture of plaintain, made by pouring
alcohol over the freshly gathered leaves
and allowing it to remain until it turns
black, when it is poured off and bottled.
If this remedy is applied Immediately
after the wound is given the swelling and
pain viii scarcely be perceptible. If the
person is severely stung few drops of
the tincture can be taken internally

Harnessing Natures Forces.

One Of the latest attempts to harness
the forces of nature for the service OF
man is the adaptation of a windmill for
the turning of dynamo, the electricity
thus obtained being stored in suitable bat
teries, and afterward used in lighting
beacons for the benefit of the maritime
interests. There is a station of this kind
near the mouth of the Seine, and consid-

FOREST Fires.

The prevalence Of forest fires has
never been as great as this year,
and from all the timber sections OF
the State are coming in reports OF
the immense and irreparable dam
age which is being done by the de-
vouring element. Undoubtedly
much of this loss could be arrested
were the proper precautions taken
by hunters and campers who go in
to the woods and leave their fi'es
smouldering on breaking camp.
But there is another class who 60
about this matter deliberately, and
for them the strong arm of the
law has no adequate punishment.
These are the sheep and stock men.
who to get rid of the underbrush and
make open pasturage for the com
ing season, recklessly set their fires
in the very midst of great forests,
where the destruction of the timber
is almost certain. These people
seem to have total disregard for
the public veal, and in order to
provide food for their rowing bands
of sheep and cattle, do not hesitate
to destroy property whose value is
hundred fold greater than the ami
mails they would sustain.
The State Board of Forestry has
recently sent to all the timber
counties in the State canvas pos
tiers, on which the penalty for set
ting forest fires-$l 900 fine and inn
prisonment for one years. promi-
nently set forth, and these will
be posted on all the highways and
byways, and on the tracts of coun-
try frequented by hunters, campers
and herders. The Board has also
appointed agents in every timber
country IN the State who will look
after depredators on State and
school lands; and they have also in
the field special officer who is en-
gagged in collecting evidence against
timber thieves which will be used
in the prosecution of the cases soon
to be brought into the conrts. BY
these means 1T is hoped that
the timber resources of the State
may be protected, and that the
disastrous results from wanton
waste and fire which aff1icts too
many of our sister States may be
averted from Caliiornia.-San

JOurn and Politics.

In speech to the New York
Press Club, Henry Waterson said !:
/ would rather be an editor than
hold any Office in the gisto the people.
/ had that question to settle, and
did settle it finally. 1t cost me no
pang to settle it and the side of my
profession. | do not mean to exalt
the profession of journalism above
all others, but do pretend to say
that, aside from the good old rule
that shoemaker should stick to
the last, journalist is nowhere so
much out of place as when direct
ing the mechanism of a political
movement. No man can mingle
politics and journalism and remain
an honest man. He must, as pol
ititcian, sacrifice the truth. There
is only one thing the journalist
should strive after, and that is to
tell the truth in advance of any one
else.

indeed he could never tell the story

Indian Nicllnancs.

Indians are known to each other by
certain tribal or family names, which
for some mysterious reason they de.
cline to reveal, says writer in the
Springfield Republican. No maid or
wife who has long since passed the
twenties is half so SOLICITORS to con.
ceal her age as an Indian / to conceal
his family name. Like II ore highly,
civilized peoples, however, the prac.
tice of giving nicknames Aourishes
among them, and these are the names
that we find upon the freight books
at the agency.
The Bear" family stands high
upon the list of those who
work. There is High Bear,
Standing Bear, Quick Bear, Young
Bear, Crazy Bear ana Bear-who.looks

ing Bear and Bear Eagle. Bear.Looks.
Over Top Bear at Bear Man; in which
operation Troublesome Bear, il he
lives up to his name, may give him
not little inconvenience. In colors
we have Red Bear, Yellow Bear and
Brown Bear. but no black bear; and,
with John Bear, Brave Bear and
American Bear the list closes. The
Horse" family occupies a number oil
pages, giving us Horned Horse, Eagle
Horse, Blue Horse, Cloud Horse and
Red Horse Owner. Next comes Plenty
Horse, Iron Horse, Returning Medi'
cine Horse, Shedding Horse, Painted
Horse and Horse Bear. We hope that
Running Horse, Runs With, or Runs
Forward OF Bob Tailed Horse. A pa.
triotic interest in native industries
leads us to hope that American Horse
will not be beaten by Plenty Horse,
or Youngman afraid. ot-his-horse. We
confess to a doubt as to whether Big
Belly Sorrel Horse or White Cow
Walking will be the Last Horse in the
race.
The Bull and Dog families are about
equally represented. Little Bull, Slow
Bull, Yellow Bull, Lone Bull and One
Bull are doubtless OF better stock
than Scabby Bull, who might perhaps
consult Medicine Bull to advantage.
1t is to be hoped also that Brave Bull
and Left Handed Bull are neither oi
them afraid OF The Bull or of Bull
Walks Behind. OF dogs we find He
Dog, Little Dog, Eagle Dog, Two Dogs
and Prairie Dog. Poor Dog and Lone
Dog are dangerously near to Mad Dog.
Crow Dog, in a Dog Trade, Keeps the
Dog. Let us hope that he finds him
Fast Dog or Dog Red Track, what.
ever they may be. Chief Eagle, High
Bald Eagle, Two Eagles-even Walking
Eagle and Owl Eagle hold themselves
better than Eagle Man and Eagle Elk.
The interesting though predatory
Hawks, Iron Hawk, Swift Hawk, High
Hawk, Charging Hawk, Yellow Hawk,
Whirlwind Hawk and Black Crow
have little in common with Big Tur-
key, Good Bird or Simple Bird, with
out a qualifying adjective. Jump.
ing Elk, Young Elk, White Elk, Poor
Elk and Spotted Cow wisely hold alooi
from Yellow Wolf, Long Wolf and
